This is a sight that Newcastle United fans would love to see come May - new boss Rafa Benitez dancing to the Blaydon Races after successfully securing the club’s Premier League status for another season.

The former Liverpool manager is seen here showing off his best moves as he jubilantly bounces up and down to a Scouse rendition of America’s - A Horse With No Name.

Benitez, who started the year as manager of Real Madrid, signed a three-year deal with the Magpies on Friday afternoon following the sacking of head coach Steve McClaren.

He said: “I have the pleasure to confirm I have committed to a legendary English club, with the massive challenge of remaining part of the Premier League.

“It will be a challenge not just for me and my staff but for the players, the club and the fans.

“All of us must push together in the same direction and with the same target in mind. This is the reason why I’m going to ask for your total support to successfully complete this task.”

Benitez has brought silverware to almost every club he has managed, however taking the Newcastle job will be an entirely different challenge.

The Magpies have 10 games left to try and resurrect another season of disappointment on Tyneside, and if Rafa manages to steer Newcastle to safety it will go down as one of his biggest achievements in his managerial career.
